Guys, I just wanted to thank you again for all your hard work--your fantasy football acumen is simply amazing! Okay, I have two questions: firstly, which RB's do you think are seriously undervalued and overvalued at this point in the off-season? In my humble opinion, I'm targeting guys like Matthews, Moreno, Best, and Forte, as I think they currently represent solid value. Secondly, would you be confident rolling with Jimmy Graham as your number one TE this year (non PPR)? Once again, thanks for lending your expertise.

 

[Concept Coop]

The NFL Draft Committee and New England Patriots both felt that Stevan Ridley was worthy of his top 10 pick in the 3nd round. According to staff rankings, you think they are both wrong. Why?

Hey Guys,

Have you watched any tape of those last games where Carson played without TO and Ocho? He looked pretty good for a guy who's been panned by the fantasy community. What's your take on Carson?

And staying with the Bengals, I've heard Waldman speak on behalf of Cedric Peerman several times... what if Benson doesn't come back? Does Peerman have the skill set to produce in Gruden's West Coast offense? Can he catch or is he more of a pounder?

Thanks!

This question is a bit of a take on what Concept Coop is asking. How much do you believe the positional coaches are involved in choosing a player? Dante Scharnecchia worked out Anthony Costanzo at BC's pro day and had a private work out with Solder before the draft. My guess is that he would have more say than the average assistant coach but in general how much input would these coaches have? Would an RB coach weigh in with his impressions of a player. Do the OC and DC for a respective team sit and watch tape on players of interest with there positional underlings?

Thanks

 

[treat88]

Could you discuss your thoughts on Eric Decker, WR DEN? What role do you think he plays this season and what kind of production do you anticipate? How do Tebow and Fox affect your outlook on his potential this and next year?

He seems like a very talented player with a very direct path to playing time that is very under the radar right now.

 

[Childress]

For those of us who have not been scared away by Cam Newtons risk factors and selected him in our rookie drafts, what is the upside of a player who can score 50 tds in a season? Thanks

Hey guys,

I'm in a 10 team dynasty (non-ppr) and in my upcoming rookie/fa draft what value would you place on these free agents in a rookie draft---Rashard Jennings, Gerhart, Jacoby ford, Jordy Nelson, Jerome Simpson, Tim Tebow.. Thanks

Tell me you have a drop of the Law and Order 'Bum BUM' sound.

 

[LionSlappy]

I was wondering what your opinons are regarding retaining established studs v. adding possible future studs in dynasty. I have built a pretty strong squad in my 14-team PPR dynasty league. My team includes players such as McFadden, Bradshaw, Green-Ellis, Nicks, Marshall, Sidney Rice, Jacoby Ford & Gates. Part of the problem is, however, I've have had some of these players for 2-3 years now and their salaries are getting higher due to performance-based salary increases. Due to their salaries, I do not have a lot of depth. WRs are like gold in this league since we can start up to 5 in this PPR-format (1 RB, 3 WR, and 2 Flex).

I would love to acquire a top 5 pick in the upcoming Rookie Draft in order to add some young, elite talent. Numerous owners have asked me about the availability of either McFadden or Gates. I know it sounds insane to trade McFadden right now, but he has never shown to be durable and he could probably net me a top rookie and another solid player if not more. On the other hand, Gates is aging and has been prone to injury. Is a top 3-5 rookie worth unloading a stud? At what point should a dynasty owner start to unload high-salaried studs for younger talent and depth? Should I be proactive or ride the players I have until the wheels fall off?

I wanted to get your take on some of my dynasty stashes and how their value has been impacted by the draft and other goings on this off season. Thanks guys. Love the show!

Hey guys, love the idea of a Fantasy Court. A couple of questions...

1. Which player's fall in rookie drafts has most surprised you so far?

2. Obviously Twitter has changed the landscape for football players and how they can communicate their thoughts. Do you think the NFL or teams will ever place a ban on Twitter for the players, as difficult as it would be to implement?

And finally, a quick one...

3. When does the CBA get sorted and will we miss any games?

Having you guys during the offseason makes this lockout so much more bearable, so thank you for that.

Matt - you giving up on Peerman yet? explain

Who are some top 10 guys you think are likely undervalued in dynasty, especially in startup context?

 

[I was in the pool]

What are your thoughts on the talent level and fantasy impact of stevie johnson? The only players I could find in the historical data dominator in the past 6 years that surpassed 1000 yards receiving in one if their first 3 seasons that didn't have a sustained fantasy impact was Roy Williams and Steve Breaston. The odds seem in Johnson's favor in 2011 and beyond.

Love the show, your podcasts are a highlight of my fridays!

It seems I hit a nerve with this question with Cecil. I didn't mean completely cut off Twitter. Just a suggestion. Oh, and I did have other questions

I loved the Fantasy Court feature at the beginning, that was the hotness. One constructive criticism though, following up the concise, focused "Court" segment with another 20+ minutes of detailed discussion on the same player (Moreno in this case) kind of eroded some of the magic and value of the segment I think.

I totally agree with Cec by the way re: Brandon Lloyd. I'm no Tebow fan, at all, but Lloyd remained ELITE even with Tebow in the lineup. In fact, his pro rata performance with Tebow under center was nearly identical to his pre-Tebow pace. This is a guy that finished #1 last year, yet people are acting like he randomly lucked his way into a middling WR2 finish and it a one-year wonder.
